CHAPTER XXVI.

WELSH LAW.

1. Ancient Laws and Institutes of Wales; comprising Laws supposed to be enacted by Howel the Good modified by subsequent Regulations under the Native Princes prior to the Conquest by Edward I, and Anomalous Laws consisting principally of Institutions which by the Statute of Ruddlan were admitted to continue in force; with an English translation of the Welsh text. With indexes and glossary. Edited by A. Owen. In 1 vol., fol., or 2 vols., 8vo. 1841

Issued by the Record Commissioners.

This critical and complete edition supersedes the older edition by Wotton. . . . Howel Dda is said to have drawn up these laws about 943. They are very extensive in their range, embracing Criminal, Private and Process Law. . . . They have points of affinity to the old Anglo-Saxon Laws."-Brunner, Sources, 9.

This opens a series of Welsh texts which the Guild of Graduates of the University of Wales has undertaken to issue. It is thought to date from the second half of the fifteenth century, and as a comparatively late version of the laws it has not much legal interest, but it is of considerable importance to the Welsh philologist.

1823

Dyvnwal Moelmud lived about 400 B.C. The Triads are particularly valuable on account of the light they throw on the origin of trial by jury. "Did Alfred frame the trial by jury purely from the energy of his own mind, or did he obtain the idea of it from Dyvnwal's triads? To my mind the evidence is decisive in favour of the

Welsh."-Preface.
